I'm not sure why you would interpret my expressing puzzlement as meaning
that it's a bug up my nether regions. Do you take all statements to
their extreme extension? In any event, when users use the stuff, report
back their issues things get fixed, things improve, it's the pattern of
open source. Of course are free to opt out by turning it off.
I don't want to tell a client that their system was compromised and that
one of the security mechanisms delivered with the system was shut off
because I didn't understand it.
